DLT Solutions adds cloud executive, business unit

DLT Solutions has named a chief cloud technologist to lead its new DLT Cloud Advisory Group.

David Blankenhorn will lead the group, which will provide government customers advice on cloud products and services.

“Public sector customers need more than the simple sales and marketing puffery that they have been getting by-and-large for cloud computing,” Rick Marcotte, president and CEO of DLT Solutions, said in a statement. “While it is clear that cloud technology offers our government customers many benefits, the technical decisions and choices they must make can be very challenging given the rapid evolution of this market.”

Blankenhorn was most recently global manager and principal engineer for Sun Professional Services. He worked at Sun Microsystems for more than a year.

Blankenhorn, along with DLT CTO Van Ristau, will be host a five-part educational webcast series on the Fundamentals of Cloud Computing starting in May. More information is aviailable at http://www.dlt.com/cloud
